Staff News Letter Apr. 2-6


I hope you are enjoying the books you are reading for your calendar.  I have enjoyed reading your positive comments for each day.  I would like to continue to encourage you to look for the good things that are happening, especially in your classrooms.  With the end of school coming, if you would please put in your newsletters that parents who would like to submit class requests for next year, they are due by Apr. 16th.  I need to have the class lists on the system earlier this year.

You may be interested to know that our school will be receiving an award at UVU on Monday.  We were nominated through SUU’s Service Learning Committee for our work with volunteers and after school programs.  I appreciate all of you who have been so effective with volunteers in your class rooms.  We also have volunteers with after school programs that have been supported by many of you as well.  The committee recognized Kim Sauceda for her work and leadership in working with volunteers, as well as, East Elementary.  Kim and I will be gone Monday to accept the award.  It represents just a portion of the wonderful things you all do, and an appreciation for SUU and its volunteers who are so willing to spend time in our school. 

This is a portion of the e-mail I received explaining the award:

In case you're wondering about this award, we are recognizing an individual or organization that:
  • Strengthens community involvement at our institution
  • Provides meaningful service and learning opportunities for our students
  • Enhances their agency's mission/programs/goals by partnering with us
You all deserve a fantastic weekend!
